If It Ain’t This Town

Go down to the stream but the fish aren't biting

I would be a wall if you would be the writing

We're still casting rods, there's no use in deciding

It's just another labor of love lost

We kick up the dust on that rusty dirt road

And swim as I swam in that watering hole

Stand back now Lord, watch me do the dives

The ground you made in there was so cold

You wanna call it an American town

But there's so many soldiers around

Shacked up in the most ancient of houses

Below the shit flows down

If it ain't this city

It's the house, it's the house

If it ain't this house

It's the town, it's the town

If it ain't this town

It's the curse in the ground and the sound

Found a new man you think is amazing

You can call him slow, don't call him lazy

For as long as you can you try to hide the crazy

It's just another labor of love lost

You wanna call it an American town

But there's so many soldiers around

Shacked up in the most ancient of houses

Below the shit flows down

If it ain't this city

It's the house, it's the house

If it ain't this house

It's the town, it's the town

If it ain't this town

It's the curse in the ground and the sound

If it ain't this city

It's the house, it's the house

If it ain't this house

It's the town, it's the town

If it ain't this town

It's the curse in the ground and the sound
